The 100 greatest UK No 1s: No 1, Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls
Thirty-six years on, their debut single still pulses with beguiling ambiguity – a heady rush of lust, naivety, disco and opaque references to Lenin Read our 100 greatest No 1 singles list in fullNeil Tennant on West End Girls: 'It's about sex and escape. It's paranoid'What did we miss out? Have your sayWest End Girls is a lens on to a glamorous demimonde. Primped young Women and hungry young men meet in a corner of London that is starting to gentrify, although still seedy enough to expose the transactions behind the flirtation. You can almost hear their egos rattle as they use each other for sex and drugs, second-hand cool and sly oneupmanship, parsing the social codes in a suspicious, cinematic rush: "Have you got it? Do you get it? If so, how often? Which do you choose, a hard or soft option?" But a scene's beautiful people are rarely as captivating as the wallflower at the orgy. After all, the West End girls and East End boys are doomed to a dead-end world. The real glamorous demimonde opened up by West End Girls is that of the Pet Shop Boys, perceptive night owls who make a virtue of being outsiders yet understand the allure of the charade.
Thirty-six years on, their debut single still pulses with that beguiling ambiguity; the exact emotion of Chris Lowe's glacial chords and abrupt beat, and of Neil Tennant's alternately wry and rhapsodic observations, impossible to pinpoint. Although Tennant cited Grandmaster Flash's The Message as an influence on the rapped verses, West End Girls isn't so much social commentary on London's burgeoning yuppie class as it is an impressionist marvel, in which lust, naivety, disco and opaque references to Lenin rush by as if caught in the reflection of a bus window. TS Eliot's The Waste Land was another influence. Years later, Tennant said he had never understood the poem, "but the poetry of it, the different voices talking about strange and disparate and even exotic things, is completely riveting and makes you want to read it again and again … hoping to find new meaning". Some urbane listeners may have recognised themselves in the song, whether the flirtatious insider or worldly observer. But it is kids who send songs to No 1, and West End Girls was an aperture on to a mysterious adult world, the Pet Shop Boys' distanced framing as captivating as the picture.

Microsoft asked to compensate users for bricked PC/laptops while updating to Windows 10
British watchdog asks Microsoft to compensate after Windows 10 update bricked PCs
Microsoft was dealt a serious blow by the UK consumer watchdog when it asked the tech behemoth to pay compensation to customers who bricked their PCs when upgrading to its new software Windows 10.
Microsoft had released its latest operating system, Windows 10, last year amidst much fanfare. But ever since the company released the software last year it has been plagued by complaints, with customers claiming their computers upgraded without their permission and, in some cases, completely stopped working.
Based on such complaints from British citizens, the UK consumer watchdog, has told Microsoft to "honour consumers' rights" and compensate those who have suffered from problems, including lost files, email accounts no longer syncing and failed WiFi connection.
It may be noted that Microsoft was panned by techies for pushing down the Windows 10 upgrade down the Windows 7/8.1 users throat. Many users also complained that the Windows 10 upgrade and subsequent updates bricked their PCs/laptops while a few others reported that their webcams suddenly stopped working, as did speakers and printers in the wake of the upgrade.
Similar complaints were noticed in United States as well. In fact, Microsoft had to pay Teri Goldstein $10,000 in compensation after a failed Windows 10 update left her computer unusable for days. However, it has been accused of neglecting to Windows 10 users in other countries, who have experienced similar problems after upgrading.
A spokesman for Microsoft said: "The Windows 10 upgrade is designed to help people take advantage of the most secure and productive Windows. Should a customer need help with the upgrade experience, we have numerous options, including free customer support."

110 soldiers or 'Tankies' from G Squadron were deployed to Afghanistan; the remaining troops will return over the next few weeks.
Lance Corporal Dan Wenlock, who was met by his wife, Sam, and their two-year-old daughter, Poppy, said, "I'm a Mastiff commander and we had a very busy tour alongside the Grenadier Guards. We did our job really well, which is all down to the hard work we'd put into training before we deployed.
"I'm over the moon to be back to see the kids. They have changed so much in the six months I've been away and I'm really looking forward to having some quality time with them."
G Squadron used the Mastiff, a heavily armoured 6x6-wheel-drive patrol vehicle, to bring firepower and armoured support wherever it was needed, including supporting the Grenadier Guards and 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment.
Known as the Mastiff Troop the soldiers were involved in fighting the insurgents, patrolling towns and villages, and providing protected mobility for the troops on the ground. Each Mastiff was crewed by three 1 RTR soldiers: a driver, commander and gunner.
Another father, Corporal Semi Navuku, who was returning from his third Op HERRICK tour, said, "Now I have children it was a very different experience to be on tour and apart from them. It was a busy tour but everyone did really well. It's particularly good to have gone out as a troop of 18 and come back to our families with no-one wounded."
Troop leader Captain Pete Eadon said, "Our role is to move troops and provide fire support, and the area we were operating in has borne the brunt of fighting this summer. The blokes were outstanding and worked well with the Grenadier Guards, with the firepower, manoeuvrability and protection of our Mastiffs proving decisive on many occasions.
"It is great to be home to see our families. An operational tour is harder for the families left behind who do not know what we are doing and just have to get on with life. It is six months of worry for them, when for soldiers it's six months of doing the job that they have trained for."
A further 96 soldiers from the regiment's D Squadron will remain in Afghanistan until the start of November. Based in Camp Bastion, they are responsible for delivering the Reception, Staging and Onward Integration training that is mandatory for all soldiers entering Afghanistan. It is the final stage of a six-month-long training package to ensure that the soldiers have the most up-to-date tactics, techniques, procedures and intelligence at their disposal.
A homecoming parade for 1 RTR will take place in Bury St Edmunds on 28 November 2012.

Composer Dwight Ashley created solo works for nearly 20 years before his first CD, Discrete Carbon, was issued in 2004. Prior to that project, many came to know him through two collaborations of the 1990s with fellow Ohio artist Tim Story - A Desperate Serenity and Drop.
Although Watermelon Sugar is his most recent solo release, the tracks on the album were actually recorded 15 years ago, during the time the Ashley/Story projects were produced. Those familiar with Serenity and Drop will find in Watermelon Sugar telling overtones of Story's influence during this period - while those who know Ashley largely through his solo work of the mid 2000's will get a glimpse into an unseen phase of his career that clearly lays the groundwork for his later solo projects.
The first several tracks on Watermelon Sugar have a distinctly dreamy, wistful character that at the outset seem almost too pretty for an Ashley work. In his characteristic fashion, however, the serene note on which the album begins is transformed almost seamlessly into emotional discord at the title track, an aching anthem to distant memories and personal loss.
In the middle of the album, Ashley tips his hand with an earlier version of an Ashley/Story track, Jealous Entropy No. 1. White China is somewhat of a companion piece to the previously released Poppies for Irene, both of which were products of a series of recording sessions in which he was creating music for his mother-in-law, who was battling terminal cancer.
Ashley's most classically "ambient" tracks on the album are Remembering 76 (in which some may detect the influence of the Fripp & Eno classic, Evening Star) and Hallways and Corridors, which exhibits the proto-industrial sound palette Ashley featured more than a decade later in his 2006 release, Ataxia. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Ashley includes three quasi-classical tracks, including a spacey threnody he playfully entitled Taps.
For those looking for more of the Ashley/Story sound palette, they'll find it on Watermelon Sugar. For those interested in exploring Ashley's creative past, they'll find it on Watermelon Sugar, too.

COX10 gene
cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor heme A:farnesyltransferase COX10
Cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, catalyzes the electron transfer from reduced cytochrome c to oxygen. This component is a heteromeric complex consisting of 3 catalytic subunits encoded by mitochondrial genes and multiple structural subunits encoded by nuclear genes. The mitochondrially-encoded subunits function in electron transfer, and the nuclear-encoded subunits may function in the regulation and assembly of the complex. This nuclear gene encodes heme A:farnesyltransferase, which is not a structural subunit but required for the expression of functional COX and functions in the maturation of the heme A prosthetic group of COX. This protein is predicted to contain 7-9 transmembrane domains localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane. A gene mutation, which results in the substitution of a lysine for an asparagine (N204K), is identified to be responsible for cytochrome c oxidase deficiency. In addition, this gene is disrupted in patients with CMT1A (Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A) duplication and with HNPP (hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies) deletion.

Inspired by my clients' courage, resilience, and capacity to overcome adversity and driven by my passion for educating the community about the human experience of trauma and de-stigmatizing mental health, I dreamed of a center for counseling and wellness that offered a warm, safe, healing environment and an integrative mind-body-spirit approach to health. I longed for the freedom to use all of my years of clinical training and experience in creative and nurturing ways to help my clients discover their capacity for self-healing. Having seen this beautiful process unfold organically with my clients when provided a sacred space and a safe, authentic relationship, I was convinced that health practitioners must bridge the gap between natural, innate healing systems and conventional medicine practices. I personally witnessed the power of self-healing and knew in my heart and soul that there is so much more to healing than standard diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders and medical conditions. Over the years, I grew in my understanding that all of us have experienced trauma on various levels and that these unhealed wounds no matter how big or small are often at the root of human distress and disease. I grew in my appreciation for the many gifts my clients would share with me which have served to teach and assist me in my own transformation. My personal healing journey moved me to seek a deeper understanding of the mind-body-spirit connection and increased my passion for re-conceptualizing mental health as an essential component to whole body wellness. My calling became clear, and with a shared heart and vision, Kelsey and I created GIFT Counseling Center for Wellness in 2014. The heart of GIFT Counseling Center for Wellness has expanded to include other like-minded practitioners to fulfill our mission.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I graduated from University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.
I completed my graduate studies at Georgia State University where I earned a Master's in Professional Counseling, an Education Specialist degree in Professional Counseling, and a Doctoral degree in Counselor Education and Practice with a specialization in trauma, play therapy, and group counseling. I completed the Mind-Body Medicine training from the Center for Mind Body Medicine in 2014. Most recently, I completed a program at Duke University Integrative Medicine for Integrative Health Coaching.
I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years in various settings including child advocacy centers, schools and universities, residential treatment, hospitals, and private practice. Upon returning to Greenville in 2007, I served as the Clinical Director at Julie Valentine Center and began teaching at Clemson University, Webster, and USC Upstate. Following my time at JVC, I joined Upstate Oncology Associates and began practicing privately.
I have experience in the areas of traumatic stress, grief and loss, oncology and chronic illness, child development and parenting, infertility, premature birth, child abuse, and sexual assault. I consider myself a lifelong learner and have continued to seek education and training in many areas of health care.
I practice from a mind-body-spirit approach which promotes mindfulness and provides a holistic framework for self-discovery, personal growth, and transformation. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families and groups to recognize and enhance their strengths and resources, identify sources of stress, and create a plan for wellness.
I use a variety of evidence-based practices including Mind-Body-Medicine, Play Therapy/Expressive Arts, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Integrative Health Coaching (IHC).
I also use complementary approaches to medicine to enhance the healing process and cultivate self-care and self-compassion. I have received training in trauma informed yoga, Reiki, and Healing Touch. I am certified as a Dancing Mindfulness Instructor, and I offer the Mind Over Medicine program for healing and preventative health developed by Lissa Rankin, M.D. Dr. Rankin is the founder of the Whole Health Medical Institute and the bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine, The Fear Cure, and The Anatomy of a Calling. I am honored to be 1 of 25 teachers of her transformational model.
I grew up in Greenville surrounded by family and friends. I met my husband in college, and we have been married for 20 years. We are blessed with three beautiful, spirited daughters and our sweet golden retriever, Rosie.
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, cooking, and wandering through antique markets. I appreciate art, music, nature, and laughter. My love for God and my family inspires me to continue along my path to becoming my highest and healthiest self.


Effective January 1, 2017, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began requiring all U.S. gasoline to meet an annual 10 ppm average sulfur requirement as part of their new Tier 3 vehicle and fuel regulations. The 10 ppm sulfur average applies at the refinery gate, which is the point where finished gasolines or blendstocks for oxygenate blending (BOBs) leave the refinery. Individual batches can still have up to 80 ppm sulfur at the refinery gate and up to 95 ppm downstream of the refinery. Included in the program is a six-year credit averaging, banking, and trading provision that allows refineries that cannot produce qualifying gasoline to buy credits from other refineries in order to comply with the Tier 3 requirement. These credits are generated by refineries who produce Tier 3 gasoline with an annual sulfur average below 10 ppm.
A three-year extension until January 1, 2020 of the requirements for qualifying refineries and small business refiners is also included in this program. While the new Tier 3 fuel requirements will remove small amounts of sulfur from vehicle emissions, the primary benefits of the new fuel are to enable new Tier 3 vehicles and their catalysts to lower exhaust emissions of NOx and other ozone forming emissions. A one-year deficit carry-forward provision is included in the program that allows an individual refinery that does not meet the 10 ppm standard in a given year to carry a deficit forward for one year if necessary, as long as they make up the deficit the following year. There are also the typical EPA hardship provisions that allow refiners to petition for compliance assistance based on extreme hardship and/or extreme unforeseen circumstances.
EPA estimates that 108 refineries will be effected by the Tier 3 requirements. About 40 of these refineries are already producing gasoline that meet the Tier 3 specifications, and about 20 refineries are eligible for the three-year small refinery/small refiner delay.
If your refinery laboratory needs assistance in interpreting and implementing the new and revised ASTM methods to meet Tier 3 testing, reporting, and product certification requirements, please contact Stillwater Associates.


In the Bayesian context, the rationale for using a particular probability density function (pdf) for a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image improves the performance of unsupervised change detection (CD). So, this work is concentrated on promoting the consequence of selecting an empirical pdf and its parameter estimation technique. Rayleigh pdf is used to model approximation and detail sub-bands of a dual tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) of the log ratio difference image. The chosen pdf has a potential impact on impulsive SAR images. The scale parameter of Rayleigh pdf is estimated using first-order moments by exploiting Mellin transform. This iteration-free parameter estimation technique, made the method faster. In each sub-band at each level of DTCWT decomposition, the binary threshold is estimated to represent the change signal at different scales. The performance in the final change map is improved by combining intra-scale along with inter-scale sub-band coefficients. The proposed method is tested on three flooding SAR image data sets acquired from European Space Agency environmental satellite, European remote-sensing satellite (ERS)-2 and ERS-1 SAR instruments. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves good CD performance in terms of false alarm rate and overall detection accuracy in less computing time.
A hyperspectral anomaly detector, which uses the benefits of a proposed background feature extraction method and the kernel trick, is introduced in this study. The proposed method is differential image based detector (DID). The DID method uses the differential image to estimate the variations of background in the feature extraction phase. The proposed feature extraction method slows the variations of background. So, it suppresses the background signal and highlights the anomalous signal. The separation between anomalous targets and background clutter is increased in the projected feature space. Before feeding the transformed data into the Reed–Xiaoli (RX) detector, the kernel learning method is applied. The kernel technique transforms the projected data with a linear non-Gaussian model to a potentially high-dimensional feature space with the non-linear Gaussian domain. Experiments are conducted on two real hyperspectral images. The experimental results indicate that the proposed DID method outperforms RX and some state-of-the-art anomaly detection approaches.
One of the most effective atmospheric correction methods is dark-object subtraction (DOS) method, where the atmospheric offset can be generated from the image itself. The success of DOS strongly relies on the availability and quality of the dark target. Based on the response to the downwelling irradiances, the most effective dark target would be optically-deep water, which is not always available. It is important to assess the alternative dark targets in the absence of the ideal dark target. This research aimed at comparing the effectiveness of different dark targets for DOS method during mangrove above-ground carbon stock (AGC) mapping and comparing the accuracy with robust atmospheric correction FLAASH method. ALOS AVNIR-2 image was used as the test image, and mangrove forest of Karimunjawa and Kemujan Island was selected as the study area. The comparison covers the quality of healthy mangrove reflectance and the accuracy of vegetation indices for mangrove AGC mapping. The results of this research showed that non-ideal dark targets such as cloud-shadow pixels and the minimum value of the image can be used in the absence of ideal dark target, and DOS method is more efficient and effective than more robust atmospheric correction method.
This Letter presents an interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) imaging method based on L1 regularisation joint reconstruction model via complex approximated message passing (CAMP). The proposed method enables to ensure the preservation of background information via CAMP and interferometric phase difference information among multiple channels via L1 regularisation joint reconstruction model. Compared with conventional matched filtering results, the proposed method can improve the performance of interferometric phase noise reduction and the continuity of interference fringes, which has broad application prospect in InSAR imaging. Experiments carried out on real data confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method with improved performance.
From the decades, due to the independent and Poisson nature of background seismicity, they are extensively used for hazard analysis, modelling of prediction phenomenon and also used for earthquake simulations. In this study, a tetra-stage cluster identification model is proposed for accurate estimation of background seismicity and triggered seismicity. The proposed method considers a seismic event's occurrence time, location, magnitude and depth information available in the given catalogue to classify the event as a background or aftershock. The model has flexible threshold parameters which can be tuned to a proper value according to the specific seismic zone to be analysed. It exploits the current seismic activities of the region by taking care the past samples of the region over last 25 years. The analyses of Japan, Himalaya and Taiwan catalogues are carried out using the proposed model. Superior results with the proposed model are achieved, compared with benchmark models by Nanda et al., Gardner–Knopoff and Uhrhammer et al. in terms of percentage of background seismicity, lambda plot and cumulative plot. The ergodicity present in the original seismic catalogue and catalogue after de-clustering are compared using Thirumalai-Mountain metric to justify the stationary and linearity.
The geometric accuracy of Sentinel-1 is usally derived from level-1 products in Stripmap mode using accurate surveyed corner reflector positions. While the range offset is found to be low (~30 cm) an azimuth offset of about 2 m remains. The study investigates the reason for the geometric offsets by deriving the geometric parameters from L0-data. Therefore the pulse round-trip time is analyzed from transmission to reception of a point target's backscatter including a simple pulse compression in range and azimuth. Finally, the azimuth offset is reduced to about 15 cm which indicates an artificial bias arising from SAR processing.
Classifying hyperspectral data within high dimensionality is a challenging task. To cope with this issue, this study implements a semi-supervised multi-kernel class consistency regulariser graph-based spatial–spectral feature learning framework. For feature learning process, establishing the neighbouring relationship between the distinct samples from the high-dimensional space is the key to a favourable outcome for classification. The proposed method implements two kernels and a class consistency regulariser. The first kernel constructs simple edges where every single vertex represents one particular sample and the edge weight encodes the initial similarity between distinct samples. Later the obtained relation is fed into the second kernel to obtain the final features for classification where the semi-supervised learning is conducted to estimate the grouping relations among different samples according to their similarity, class, and spatial information. To validate the performance of proposed framework, the authors conduct several experiments on three publically available hyperspectral datasets. The proposed work equates favourably with state-of-the-art works with an overall classification accuracy of 98.54, 97.83, and 98.38% for Pavia University, Salinas-A, and Indian Pines datasets, respectively.

Country Risk...and Lack of Reward
There were a few interesting pieces of news in the mining space this week, one of which was certainly CITIC Metals, a Chinese state-owned enterprise that is the largest conglomerate in the country and one of the world's biggest buyers of metals, investing $723 million in Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) to take a 19.9% stake in the company.
The financing really strengthens Ivanhoe, which needed a substantial cash injection to continue advancing its three incredible but huge and expensive projects: the Kamoa-Kakula and Kipushi projects in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Platreef platinum project in South Africa.
Another Chinese group, Zijin Mining, already owns 9.9% of IVN; if Zijin wants to use its anti-dilution right to maintain its stake, it would have to cough up $78 million.
CITIC's investment says the Chinese, at least, are confident that the DRC is a functional place to operate. That's a significant vote of confidence, especially since the DRC just signed a new mining code that increases royalties, introduces a super profits tax, and removes a 10-year amnesty for existing miners on the new rules. Miners in the DRC have been pushing back against the new code collectively and vocally, but the government signed it into law without any changes last week.
As for Ivanhoe, the market barely blinked on the news. Let me say that again: the market had almost no reaction to news of a company investing three-quarters of a billion dollars into Ivanhoe, in support of three developing mines.
I think there are three reasons for the lack of reaction.
First, the market knew IVN needed money and an equity financing at around this price was expected. Fair enough.
Second, the investor is Chinese. The market just doesn't react the same when money comes from China as when it comes from elsewhere. There's some rationale: a large Chinese strategic investor makes an asset or company much less attractive to other potential partners or investors, many of whom balk at trying to work alongside Chinese entities, so the money ironically makes the story less exciting going forward. It's kind of an asset-off-the-table situation.
Third, Ivanhoe's assets are in hard places. The company was always going to struggle to find support to build its big, expensive mines in DRC and South Africa. That means Chinese backing was always going to be the way forward, for two reasons. First, the Chinese were far more likely to support the risk-reward inherent in IVN, given the extent of Chinese investment in Africa. Second, IVN needs the clout that comes with major Chinese backing to ameliorate permitting and operating risks in southern Africa, which is highly dependent on all that Chinese capital and investment.
The bottom line: it's basically impossible to operate in places like DRC and South Africa without Chinese backing…but if you're listed in North America don't expect the market to give you any credit for securing precisely that backing! Rock and a hard place, anyone?

-RR (September 2019)
Hi there, just a quick note to say how impressed I am with all the work you and your team do.
I started a few months back, and I'm sure in it for the long haul.
-G (Netherlands) (Jan 2018)


Are you a proud owner of an Android smartphone? If yes, this guide is just for you. Kids like us born in the 90s era saw technology advancing from smartphones to tablets to iPads and to what not. One thing that never changed was – how people perceive technology especially using smartphones.
The technology is definitely advancing, but smartphones have their own space and none can deny it. There are a multitude of OS options you can find on smartphones, but two most popular OS are definitely Android and iOS. Recent statistics too support the same and clearly show how the percentage of Android OS users is on a constant rise surpassing the count of iOS users with a good margin.
Every Android user faces two major issues i.e., battery issues and storage issues. Though one can easily combat these recurring issues by installing a CUSTOM ROM but is everyone that tech-geek to go through all that hassle of Rooting the Android smartphone and installing a Custom ROM on it? Definitely NOT. Rooting Android device requires an extensive reading combined with a handful of practical knowledge on the subject.
ROOTING is risky if done wrong. I won't be held responsible for any damage done to your smartphone. Read and re-read the guide properly before you proceed.
ROOT: Let me explain this term using WhatsApp as an example. Every WhatsApp group has at-least one Admin who has the rights to Add/Delete any user. Similarly, 'ROOT' is like an Admin of your Android smartphone. Any user who gets ROOT is allowed to ADD/Edit/DELETE/Modify any file in the phone irrespective of its location. You can also call that person as 'Superuser'.
BOOTLOADER: Post rooting, BOOTLOADER is the first thing you get on your phone every-time it turns ON. Its responsible for booting up your device hardware and other items into memory before the ROM (Read-Only-Memory) starts. You can learn more about Bootloader (Booting) through its Wikipedia page.
KERNEL: Its simply responsible for managing communication between hardware & software components of your Android smartphone.
SuperSU: Its just a management tool designed by Chainfire. Once you Root your Android device, SuperSU gets installed on your device. Its a combination of 'SU Binary' and 'Superuser management' tool.
Nandroid Backup: Its the process of taking a complete backup of any Android smartphone. Nandroid Backup as the name states: is responsible for backing up everything installed on the device. All files/folders/themes and their customized settings everything gets included in Nandroid Backup.
Tip: You must create a NANDROID BACKUP to safeguard your personal customization and data from getting lost. You can check out this direct link to understand the process of creating a Nandroid Backup and Restoring it Back. You can use either TWRP or CWM recoveries for backing up the data.
Rooted Your Android Smartphone? What Next?
But the question is – Should we consider these benefits and Root our Android smartphone OR safeguard its originality? Let's check it out.
Should You Root Your Android Smartphone?
Now, the answer to this question varies. If you are a tech-geek like me, you would definitely experiment and with your phone. ROOTING is a personal choice, yet should be exercised with utmost caution. Its your first step to device modification in form of installing Custom Recoveries, FLASH Custom ROM/Kernel etc.
ROOTING your Android smartphone would void its WARRANTY, something which is not to the liking of everyone.
So, ROOTING would void your device warranty. Hmm, now that is definitely worth considering. But is that it? Ain't there any other side-effects of rooting, that I am hiding from you guys. Go one, keep reading to know more about it.
The entire process of Rooting ain't that difficult. You just need a few software's and a little subject knowledge to accomplish it in an orderly fashion. Lets begin with the step-wise guide.
Unlocking the BOOTLOADER: If your Android device is from any of the manufacturers listed below, there is a high probability that your device BOOTLOADER is Locked.
Once you are sure that you have successfully unlocked your device BOOTLOADER, you can proceed with the next steps.
Installation of Android SDK: You also need to install Android SDK (Software Development Kit) to ROOT your legacy device. Check out this complete process of SDK installation on different platforms.
Using PAID Apps: I know many of you would flinch of the idea of purchasing a paid app to Root your device, but trust me it will be worth the efforts. There are a lot of options you can explore when it comes to PAID Apps. The apps are explanatory enough to allow naïve users to walk through the entire process of Rooting seamlessly. However, do check for Application compatibility before using it on your Android device. If one fails, then repeat the process with next application in-line and try it on the device.
Why Are Paid Apps So Important For Rooting Android Device?
FRAMAROOT: One of the most useful and successful paid apps. A lot of users have been successful with this application, however, do check for app compatibility with your device first to avoid any hassle.
CF-Auto-Root: Owned and designed by Chainfire, this app is your best bet if you are a beginner. It shows compatibility with STOCK Samsung and NEXUS devices and enables SuperSU on your device so that installed applications can gain ROOT access easily.
Towelroot: You might not be able to use this app unless you own Samsung Galaxy S5 or its variants. However, do consider yourself lucky if your device runs on an unpatched kernel.
Kingo ROOT: Even though all latest Android smartphones are coming with Android Oreo, a large chunk of smartphones is still operational on lower Android versions. If you too are a proud owner of one such device, this exploit is just the right choice for you. It shows compatibility with Android v2.x to v5.x including some Windows OS supportable devices.
Although there are a plethora of other Paid Apps, these are my top favorites. If you are using some other Paid application, do let me know in the comment section and I would include it in the list.
This brings an end to the basics of Rooting. Let us now start with practical implementation. Before we begin, understand that every vendor follows a different tactic, so ensure you are familiar with the right process to Root Android device specific to a particular manufacturer.
If you own an old SAMSUNG device, you must be having MY KNOX app installed on your device by default. Have you ever given a thought as to why it comes preinstalled OR why can't you disable it just like other applications? It's because its a part of SAMSUNG security feature. Having it installed on your Android device enables business and personal content to coexist on your handset in Bring Your Own Device Environments (BYOD). You can learn more about SAMSUNG KNOX on the official SAMSUNG website.
However, if you still have My KNOX installed and are keen on Rooting your device, you got to first disable My KNOX on your SAMSUNG device, so that it lets you bypass the security layer and doesn't interfere your progress. Once you have successfully disabled My KNOX, you should install latest ODIN version on your system. No matter which SAMSUNG variant you own, ODIN is the easiest means to install any CUSTOM ROM/Kernel on your device. Simply put, ODIN pushes the ROM image files on the internal storage of the device replacing the pre-existing image files.
NOTE: As ODIN is to Windows, Heimdall is to MAC or Linux OS.
Just like any other Android device, you need to unlock BOOTLOADER in case of HTC devices also. You need to first register yourself on the official HTC Developer page and then you can initiate the process. If you find this process a little trickier, you can also try Rooting the HTC device using Android SDK.
Almost three years back, Lenovo acquired Motorola in 2014. Rooting Motorola device follows the same two tactics I mentioned above. The only main point to remember is that you are following the instructions from the official developer page. Another important fact that you must know is that NO Manufacturer ever lists down all products on its website. In case you aren't able to find your device on the developer page, you can rely on third-party apps to root your Android device. Ex: OneClickRoot or MOFOROOT.
Nexus series is one of the most popular series ever launched by Google. They feature some of the best specs and are the first ones to receive latest Google updates. It is important that you understand the process of Rooting Nexus devices properly alongside how to install and configure Android SDK on your system. With a proper understanding of the subject, it would be easier for you to flash STOCK Nexus image files on your device and avoid any mishappening.
Still, if you encounter an issue, you can visit official Google official support forums. They have stepwise instructions for almost every Nexus variant ready to assist you in case of any mishappening with your Android handset. If you are fond of tinkering with Android OS, buy one Nexus and you will have every new update right at your fingertips.
Did I use to take Backups? Yes indeed. I always took a backup of my device and Stock ROMs separately on a hard disk. Before experimenting with my SAMSUNG Galaxy J5, I used to keep a backup copy within arm's reach to restore everything back in just a few minutes if anything goes haywire.
Keep reading this blog if you want to be the first one to know: what all applications you can install and use after Rooting your Android smartphone.

DELRAY OKS CHIEF'S JOB SECURITY
By STEPHANIE SMITH and Staff Writer
DELRAY BEACH -- The new police chief will have job security for three years or walk away $35,308 richer.
Commissioners on Tuesday approved Maj. Richard Overman's three-year contract although they had qualms about the six-month severance pay he requested should he be fired for any reasons other than misconduct. Overman's annual salary will be $70,616.
Mayor Thomas Lynch said he worried that granting Overman's request would lead to similiar demands from other department heads.
"I have a problem with the severance pay because it is equal to yours and frankly, I don't think the two jobs are equal," Lynch told City Manager David Harden.
But Harden said the police chief's job is high profile and controversial and should not be compared to those of other city department heads.
"There can be a lot of turnover, contrary to Delray's experience," Harden said. The city has had only four police chiefs since 1943.
Harden said Overman, 47, agreed to receive severance pay only if he is dismissed during his first three years instead of anytime during his police chief's tenure.
"It's not going to fall off now," Harden said about the appointment. "We've settled it."
Overman said in a telephone interview from Orlando that he asked for severance pay before controversy arose on his selection as police chief. Some residents claim the selection process was weighted to help Overman.
"Prior to any of that, I asked for six months severance pay if I'm dismissed for anything other than official misconduct, in other words if I'm politically sent packing," Overman said.
Because of the controversy, Overman is trying to push up his starting date from Oct. 14 to Oct. 1. He is seeking approval from his current boss.
Harden said Overman's demands were not unusual. The runner-up for the job, Michael Flaherty of Prince George's County, Md., wanted a five-year contract and six months severance pay at the end of the contract regardless of whether he was dismissed.
Overman, a 22-year veteran of the Orlando Police Department and a deputy police chief, said he is willing to lose 12 percent of his pension benefits by leaving Orlando now to become Delray's police chief.
Salaries and benefits for the chiefs of major Palm Beach County police departments. All the chiefs listed get city cars.
DEPARTMENT ANNUAL SALARY AND BENEFITS
Palm Beach County Sheriff $91,399*
West Palm Beach $83,158
Boca Raton $80,350
Boynton Beach $79,478**
Delray Beach $70,616
*including $2,000 certification bonus
**including $1,000 annual clothing allowance

Ander Herrera says he joined Manchester United in summer 2014 because he wanted to be part of Louis van Gaal's "exciting long-term plan".
Having been targeted by former United manager David Moyes in summer 2013, the Spanish midfielder eventually moved to Old Trafford after van Gaal agreed to meet his €36m (£26m, $39m) release clause with Athletic Bilbao.
And even though the Spaniard had a slow start to the life in the Premier League he became a crucial part of the team during the second part of the campaign, receiving the club's player of the month award in February and being recognised by legend Paul Scholes as the best signing of the season.
The former Athletic midfielder says he is happy with his decision to move to Old Trafford while admitting that there is still much work to do ahead of next season after a complicated transition year under van Gaal.
"I came to Manchester United because they're a fantastic club who actually have an exciting long-term plan, and I want to be a part of that. I signed a contract for a number of seasons and I've just started. My desire is to be an important player for the club. I'm not thinking about anything other than succeeding at United," Herrera said during an interview with Elite Sport.
"Joining United was a big step in my career and I knew there would be many challenges ahead, something which motivates me both as a player and a person. It has been a complicated season for the club, like a transition, because we start with a new manager and lots of new players, We've still got lots of work ahead of us at a group level, but I think we've shown examples that we can be competitive."
Meanwhile Herrera has also expressed his delight about his new life at Manchester where his transition has been eased by the number of Spanish speakers in the squad, including his close friend Juan Mata.
"I'm very happy in Manchester. It's a great city and a really impressive club. People should come to visit the city one day. Obviously I miss my friends and family sometimes so when I return to Spain, I spend as much time as I can with them."

Q: modify an instance's propriety directly in flash(not in actionscript) If i create a movieclip named player and in this class there is the proprety map
(a string) and level(an int);
I would like to know if there is a way of modifying these propreties without actionscript when i create an instance of that symbol.
For exemple, like you would modify the height and the width of a movieclip in flash(the program, not actionscript), but modify this instance's map and level proprieties instead
Thank you for yor help!

A: If you create a custom component then you can use the component inspector to access any variables you need to. Of course there is some  work involved with making a custom component, including coding it beforehand, but once you have it built then you can access instances via the GUI like you are describing.
The other option would be to simply handle it with Actionscript, which in my opinion would be an easier route.


French airframer Dassault Falcon will be present in South Africa at the 2018 edition of Africa Aerospace & Defence (AAD) Expo. Naturally it will be the first appearance of the Falcon 8X at the show since the aircraft is as new as it is. Dassault's three engined Falcons are very popular among African operators, who highly value their flexibility, reliability and operating economy. Demand has been especially strong of late for pre-owned trijets, in particular Falcon 900 models.
"Though challenging, the African market remains dynamic for both new and second hand Falcon jets, whose robustness, agility and efficiency are highly valued in the region", said Olivier Villa, Executive Senior VP, Civil Aircraft for Dassault Aviation. "And as the average age of the regional fleet increases, we see strong opportunities ahead for replacement sales, in particular for the Falcon 8X." Dassault Falcon has service presence and capability in Africa. The company's affiliate, Dassault Falcon Service, recently opened a satellite service station in Lome, Togo as part of a steady expansion of the regional product support network. The new facility complements a pair of authorized service centers in Johannesburg and Lagos. Falcon Response is also available to clients on the continent. African customers who call Falcon Response are able to tap into Dassault's comprehensive portfolio of AOG services. Several operators from the region have benefited from the dedicated Falcon 900 missions made available by Falcon Response to handle AOG situations and if necessary provide alternative lift – an industry first.


With the cost of long-term care (LTC) skyrocketing, you may be concerned about your (or your elderly parents') ability to pay for lengthy stays in assisted living and/or a nursing home. Such care can be massively expensive, with the potential to overwhelm even the well-off.
In February 2006, Congress passed the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA), which included a number of provisions aimed at reducing Medicaid abuse. One of these was a five-year "look-back" period for eligibility.
This means that before you can qualify for Medicaid, your finances will be reviewed for any "uncompensated transfers" of your assets within the five years preceding your application. If such transfers are discovered, it can result in a penalty period that will delay your eligibility.
Another drawback to transferring ownership of your home is the potential tax liability for your child. If you're elderly, you've probably owned your house for a long time, and its value has dramatically increased, leading you to believe that by transferring your home to your child, he or she can make a windfall by selling it.
Unfortunately, if you do that, she or he will have to pay capital gains tax on the difference between your home's value when you purchased it and your home's selling price at the time it's sold by your child. Depending on the home's value, these taxes can be astronomical.
In contrast, by transferring your home at the time of your death, your child will receive what's known as a "step-up in basis." It's one of the only benefits of death, and it allows your child to pay capital gains taxes when he or she sells your home, based only on the difference between the value of the home at the time of inheritance and its sales price, rather than paying taxes based on the home's value at the time you bought it.
We can help you choose the most advantageous estate-planning strategy to minimize your beneficiaries' tax liability and ensure they get the most out of their inheritance.
There are numerous other reasons why transferring ownership of your house to your child is a bad idea. If your child has significant debts, his or her creditors can make claims against the property to recoup what they're owed, potentially forcing your child to sell the home to pay those debts.
The disability or death of your child can also lead to trouble. If your child becomes disabled and seeks Medicaid or other government benefits, having the home in his or her name could compromise eligibility, just like it would your own. And if your child dies before you and has ownership of the house, the property could be considered part of your child's estate and be passed on to your child's heirs, creating a problem for you.
Given these potential problems, transferring ownership of your home to your children as a means of "poor-man's estate planning" is almost never a good idea. Instead, with us as your Personal Family Lawyer®, we can help you find better ways to qualify for Medicaid and other benefits to offset the hefty price tag of long-term care and also keep your family out of court and out of conflict in the event of your incapacity or when you die.

Self-driving vehicles and other networked autonomous robots use sophisticated sensors to capture continuous data about the surrounding environment. In the public spaces where autonomous vehicles operate there is little reasonable expectation of privacy and no notice or choice given, raising privacy questions. To improve the acceptance of networked autonomous vehicles and to facilitate the development of technological and policy mechanisms to protect privacy, public expectations and concerns must first be investigated. In a study (n=302) of residents in cities with and without Uber autonomous vehicle fleets, we explore people's conceptions of the sensing and analysis capabilities of self-driving vehicles; their comfort with the different capabilities; and the effort, if any, to which they would be willing to go to opt out of data collection. We find that 54% of participants would spend more than five minutes using an online system to opt out of identifiable data collection. In addition, secondary use scenarios such as recognition, identification, and tracking of individuals and their vehicles were associated with low likelihood ratings and high discomfort. Surprisingly, those who thought secondary use scenarios were more likely were more comfortable with those scenarios.

Q: Spark - Reduce with division operator I have 2 sets, one with positive and one with negative samples. First value in array is item identification, second value refers to sum of such items.
positive: Array[(String, Int)]

negative: Array[(String, Int)]

I would like to construct array result, which will contain item name and its positive to negative ratio as float number. The command below returns me only integer ratio.
val result = positive.union(negativeCount).reduceByKey((a, b) => (a / b)

Can you please advice how to make the ratio a float number?
Thanks.

A: As far as I understand your intentions you should use join not an union
val positive = sc.parallelize(Seq(("a", 1), ("b", 2)))
val negative = sc.parallelize(Seq(("a", 4), ("b", 1)))

val ratios = positive
  .join(negative)
  .mapValues{case (x: Int, y: Int) => x.toFloat / y}

ratios.collect
// Array[(String, Float)] = Array((a,0.25), (b,2.0))

With DataFrames:
val ratiosDF = positive.toDF("pk", "pv")
  .join(negative.toDF("nk", "nv"), $"pk" === $"nk")
  .select($"pk".alias("k"), $"pv".divide($"nv").alias("v"))
ratiosDF.show

// +---+----+
// |  k|   v|
// +---+----+
// |  a|0.25|
// |  b| 2.0|
// +---+----+

Using union followed by reduceByKey doesn't make sense and gives no strong guarantees about the order of values.

A: Make one of the integers float using toFloat
val result = positive.union(negativeCount)
  .mapValues(_.toFloat)
  .reduceByKey((a, b) => (a / b))

Some stories are best covered in simple terms because the next level of complexity immediately jumps to expertise understood by few. The Internet was broken, partly but significantly, because one programmer deleted eleven lines of programming. Programs are no longer self-contained packages of code written by one person. Programming has become massively collaborative, where programmers rely on other programmers to each write small programs of a few line of code or a more. Put them all together and hope they run. It works because of trust and mutually developed standards. One programmer wrote a tiny program of eleven lines of code. That small program happened to have a name that was similar to another package. In a dispute, the program was deleted and subsequently a ripple of other programs couldn't operate. The details are in the link below, but the main revelation is that our interconnected, massively collaborative systems are impressive but also incredibly fragile. It is one reason epic hacks can succeed. It is also one reason vulnerabilities undoubtedly exist which may impact us without warning. The internet which the world now relies upon, is not as reliable as it is perceived – and yet we have no backup plan.

Old Masters in December…
[25 Nov 2014]
Quantitatively less dense than Post-War & Contemporary sales and less publicized and less profitable for the major auctioneers, Old Masters sales offer certain masterpieces worthy of the world's most prestigious museums. From Van Dyck to Tiepolo… we take a look at a selection of the best works on offer in December… and note that the high end of today's Old Masters market is considerably cheaper than the high end of the Contemporary art market.
Traditionally, the two leading auction operators, Christie's and Sotheby's, choose London and the beginning of December for their prestigious Old Masters sales. Christie's evening sale on 2 December has a selection of 36 works from the Northern Renaissance to the Dutch Golden Age, including a remarkable portrait by Anthonius VAN DYCK of the famous musician Hendrick Liberti. The work, which belonged to the collection of King Charles I, is expected to fetch between 4 and 5.4 million dollars. It could generate one of the top three auction results for the artist whose current auction record dates back to 2009 for a self-portrait that fetched the equivalent of $12.1 million at Sotheby's in London. That self-portrait was initially estimated in the same price range as the Liberti portrait being offered on 2 December. However, the artist's representation of himself added a thick layer of demand as is often the case with iconic figures of art history. Van Dyck's portrait of Hendrick Liberti is the most prestigious work in the Christie's sale, which is also offering a second Van Dyck canvas at one tenth of the price: a study of a man wearing a ruff that exudes considerable modernity in its freedom of hand. This study is being offered in a price range of $300,000 – $470,000, i.e. roughly half the price paid for a work by the young artist Seth PRICE (born 1973) on November 12 in New York (Vintage Bomber fetched $785,000 including fees). In short, nowadays, the best Old Masters are actually cheaper than fashionable emerging artists in New York.
The other star lots on 2 December include a quietly poetic representation of a Dutch coast by Willem II VAN DE VELDE (1633-1707); A kaag and other vessels off an inlet on the Dutch coast (1661). This work remained in the same family for 60 years and has not been exhibited since 1954. Christie's is expecting between $1.8m and $2.8m. There will also be a striking oil-on-panel painting by Pieter II BRUEGHEL entitled The Good Shepherd (40 x 54.6cm) that is expected to fetch between $1.2m and $1.8m, roughly twice the price paid for another version sold in 2006 at Christie's New York (The Good Shepherd, fetched $600,000 on April 6, 2006). In total, four works by Pieter Brueghel are being auctioned in London, two at Christie's (2 December) and two at Sotheby's (3 December).
Sotheby's star lot is signed Joseph Mallord William TURNER (1775-1851): Rome from Mount Aventine is one of the few Turner landscapes in private hands and is a masterful work first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1836. The subject, the quality of execution and the condition of this canvas which is nearly 200 years old are all advertised as outstanding features justifying the highest estimated price range in the two sales: Rome from Mount Aventine is expected to fetch between $24m and $32m and join Turner's top three best auction results.
A majestic Canaletto (Giovanni Antonio CANAL), The Faun Family by Lucas Cranach the Elder (Lucas I CRANACH) and a still life by Adriaen COORTE are among the jewels of Sotheby's December 3 sale, with prices expected to range from 2 to 11 million dollars. However, this price level is almost as rare as old works themselves. The majority of the paintings offered at Christie's and Sotheby's day sales – secular works from prestigious schools or lesser-known but highly talented masters – are being offered at between 5,000 and 50,000 dollars.
London has become a prestigious capital for the sale of Old Masters and unfortunately old masterpieces are rarely sold through Paris. However, on 17 December 2014, a work by Giovanni Battista TIEPOLO (born in Venice in 1696 – died in Madrid in 1770) will be offered by Pierre Bergé & associés through Drouot. This will be the ninth occasion on which a painting by this great Venetian Baroque artist will be auctioned in Paris in 25 years and the work in question is not the least: Portrait d'homme au manteau bleu (86 x 58cm) has emerged on the market at a key moment with the Capitoline Museums in Rome currently exhibiting preparatory drawings by Tiepolo (Rome. Musei Capitolini. Palazzo Caffarelli. Piazza del Campidoglio, until 15 January 2015). If the sale is successful it will make a positive contribution to Drouot's reputation.
While London's prestige sales of Old Masters are only offering a total of 79 lots in two evenings, November's Contemporary art sales were twice as dense. In fact, Old Masters are becoming increasingly rare, but the major auction companies still manage to find the occasional gem still in private hands. As a market, Old Masters still represents a significant volume of business for the major auctioneers and is still profitable both in terms of prestige and economic reward. Last year, Old Masters sales generated more than 1 billion dollars, equivalent to 8.5% of the global art market while Contemporary art accounted for 14% of the global art market (2013).

Three La Jolla schools project enrollment declines as S.D. district expects 'big hit' in funding
Muirlands Middle School is projecting a drop in student enrollment next school year, as are some other La Jolla Cluster schools.
Published Feb. 28, 2022 Updated March 7, 2022 5:03 PM PT
The San Diego Unified School District is facing funding challenges exacerbated by enrollment declines, including among the public schools that make up the La Jolla Cluster.
At the Feb. 24 meeting of the La Jolla Cluster Association, three local principals reported projected drops in enrollment for the next school year, while another's enrollment is projected to remain the same.
For the record:
5:03 p.m. March 7, 2022This article has been updated to correct the email address for information about La Jolla Cluster Day.
"We have a ding with enrollment," said Bird Rock Elementary School Principal Andi Frost, who added that the school will be losing a teacher next academic year, since school site budgets are based on enrollment.
Frost did not give exact enrollment numbers and did not respond to a La Jolla Light request for them.
Muirlands Middle School Principal Jeff Luna said his campus's projected enrollment for next school year is 715, down from the 732 enrolled this year. He said that will result in a small reduction in staff allocation.
Luna said keeping "our staff intact … is always a priority for us."
Torrey Pines Elementary Principal Nona Richard said her school is projected to have 449 students next school year, down from this year's 506.
Richard said the current year's enrollment expanded with the addition of dozens of Afghan refugee students placed at TPES in February. She said a few more will be enrolled at the school soon.
However, it's uncertain how many of the refugee students will stay at Torrey Pines next school year.
Principal Stephanie Hasselbrink said La Jolla Elementary is projected to have 449 students next academic year, "pretty comparable to this year."
She said "enrollment might be a little challenging over the next couple of years" because some people have left during the COVID-19 pandemic. She said she anticipates LJES enrollment eventually will climb to its 600-plus student capacity.
"We're also very excited about the addition of universal transitional kindergarten for next year," Hasselbrink said. UTK opens transitional kindergarten programming to all 4-year-olds, expanding from the previous eligibility of those born between Sept. 2 and Dec. 2.
Hasselbrink said UTK will be taught both by elementary and early-childhood educators.
La Jolla High School Principal Chuck Podhorsky did not give an enrollment update at the meeting or respond to the Light's inquiry about numbers.
San Diego Unified board member Michael McQuary, whose District C includes La Jolla, said enrollment across the district has been declining by about 1.5 percent annually since 2010. Enrollment for this school year is about 95,000 — about 4,000 fewer than district leaders had projected.
"While school districts in California have received a massive increase in funding, much of this new money was one-time-only funding, restricted and required to be used in a specified ... categorical manner," McQuary said.
Not adding up: La Jolla teacher and some parents 'beyond frustrated' with new SDUSD math initiative
Following two La Jolla Cluster Association meetings about a new San Diego Unified School District math initiative, Muirlands Middle School math teacher Rob Tindall says he is "beyond frustrated" and wants the local association to consider invoking part of an agreement with the district that allows schools to request adjustments to the curriculum.
Compounding issues related to next year's enrollment is the expiration of the state's "hold-harmless benefit," which during the pandemic paused the attachment of school funding to enrollment and average daily attendance rates.
"This two-year correction will need to be made during this single 2022-23 funding period," McQuary said. "So this could be a big hit, more than twice what we would have expected."
He encouraged parents with questions about funding and programs to seek answers from principals and SDUSD Area 5 Superintendent Mitzi Merino.
Other cluster news
La Jolla Cluster Day at Petco Park: Torrey Pines Elementary parent Wes Jones said a La Jolla Cluster Day is scheduled for San Diego's Petco Park on Sunday, June 12, with the San Diego Padres' KidsFest beginning at 10:40 a.m. and the Major League Baseball team's game against the Colorado Rockies set for 1:10 p.m.
More information will be released soon, Jones said. Questions can be emailed to events@tpesfoundation.org.
Next meeting: The La Jolla Cluster Association next meets at 4:15 p.m. Thursday, March 17, on Zoom. Learn more at lajollacluster.com. ◆

David Green is hopeful Westfield Shopping Centre will bring unique retail back to Bradford.
Christmas shoppers should take note as Bradford's Westfield Shopping Centre is set to open its doors in late 2015.
At a guided tour yesterday it was confirmed that the £260 million development, on Westfield Broadway, will meet its target for opening late next year.
The Westfield Shopping Centre is set to open in late 2015.
Westfield's Project Director, Mervyn Lowe, was pleased the shopping centre was going to meet its target opening date and put it down to a productive summer.
The new shopping centre will have around 1,200 car parking spaces across five levels and has confirmed that Marks & Spencer's and Debenhams will be among chains that will opening branches at the centre.
It is also anticipated that Westfield Shopping Centre will create around 2,500 new retail jobs in the city.
Bradford Councillor, David Green, is confident that the centre will bring back the city's unique retail culture that it once had.
He said: "With those links which we've spent a long time planning with Westfield will see a return of restaurants, retailers and businesses that will give Bradford its unique retail it used to have.

Players immerse in virtual reality games at new London business
The Wellington Road business is opening a 2,400-square-foot virtual reality space.

Star Trek's Holodeck is a reality — and it's in London.
A new local business called Dreamland Virtual Reality will offer customers the chance to battle aliens in a menacing space ship, take a race car around the track against competition, or just go on that exotic vacation you've always wanted, without ever leaving home.
Players immerse in virtual reality games at new London business Back to video
"Dreamland is a virtual reality paradise," said Chad Boutros, the owner of Cellular Magician who invested more than $1 million in the new business.
"You can have any experience you can want. We want to create an arena and give people the ability to walk freely."
Up to eight players can use Dreamland at the same time, walking wirelessly through the space. A new game, or "experience," will be launched every six weeks, and several different types will be offered at the same time.
"We will appeal to everyone in London," said Boutros. "There is a strong development community here. You will be able to swim through an ocean or visit another country — anything you can imagine."
The average cost of a full game — about a half-hour experience — will be $29, but Boutros will also offer smaller VR chamber experiences of 15 minutes for $9.
"We want to get people excited, we want to open this up to everybody."

Diana Barkho, 23, is already excited. She has played the game "a few times" as Cellular Magician staff have tested it, and "it was amazing," she beamed.
"It's immersive. You feel like you're really in a different world."
She has been to other VR spaces that were small, and players had to trail wires. Dreamland offers a larger, unencumbered space.
"It takes things from the computer screen to life," Barkho said.
Boutros is hoping to open this weekend, Monday at the latest. He will post news of the opening on Facebook.
"Our first game, Terminal 17, they will go through a space station and actually feel like they are walking in a space station. You battle aliens with your team," he explained.
Customers will be welcomed into the "battle arena," put on a VR backpack and goggles and grab a rifle for that shooter game.
Dreamland will also launch a players-vs.-player game, where a team of up to four will go up against another team.
Dreamland is a virtual reality paradise.
Chad Boutros, owner of Cellular Magician
"I have always followed technology, and I knew virtual reality is the future," Boutros said. "Apple and Samsung have launched kits making cellphones virtual reality-ready. We will all be in some augmented form of reality within the year."
Boutros has been researching this idea for a year, travelling to see VR spaces in other countries to get an idea of what would work here.
"I went to China, Switzerland and all the gaming and technology conferences. I took my time to search for the best technology."
As for the space, it's a stunning futuristic look. Visitors are greeted with a blue, painted exterior resembling a video game. Inside it's dark, with high-gloss floors and steel walls. The arena is a dark space marked by yellow grid tape.
"We had to get the experience right. We want people to feel like they're in a video game," Boutros said.
John Winston, chief executive of Tourism London, was also at Dreamland Wednesday and thinks it will work with new recreational facilities, like the Rec Room at Masonville Place and the Factory at the former Kellogg plant, to draw people to London.
"It's another experience to offer people. It is another thing to do when people visit here. London has desperately needed unique family entertainment experiences," he said.

Q: Blog sometimes losing pages due to picking up incorrect configuration As SE developer Chris explains in this comment:

We use a Jekyll-based blog generation system. Unfortunately, sometimes some of the pages do not generate correctly, thus causing the files to be missing. Regenerating the blog usually solves this, but knowing when we have a "busted blog build" is half the battle. (The other half of the battle is fixing the system for good so that all pages generate correctly all the time.)

This happens quite often, think the first time was reported as Where's the Strangedupe blog post?.
All past reports are about single missing page, hence starting now a "generic" report.
I am aware the battle is long and hard, would be happy to get updates about the progress right here in this report. :)

A: This should be resolved now. Our blog builds are based on https://github.com/madhur/PortableJekyll which apparently has an out of date version of the mercenary gem that will intermittently "parse the completely wrong options" and cause the build to use the wrong config file.
I upgraded that gem from 0.3.3 to 0.3.5 on our build servers, which should fix the problem. I have also added a check to fail the build if the generated post count is lower than expected.

My first season back with finches other than 3 breeds i have had for yrs and i got a pair of BFPF and they went down straight away, heard youngster cheeping away last week . Anyway i found one out of the nest sitting on top of the nest in the brush last Friday no more in the nest so i thought that was it. In the aviary this afternoon looking for the youngster and found him still sitting in the brush and he decided to head for the ground closely followed by another one i didnt even know had fledged. so the other one has been hiding somewhere in the brush since last friday. They are both well fed and in good feather and the parents have gone down again in but this time in a nest box by the looks of it. This nest was in brush and only a metre off the ground so they will nest anywhere by the looks of it.
they can fly properly. Try it, it works.

Q: How to include a html or template file into a .html file? is it possible, or how could I make it so, I can include my topbar file into my page, I'd prefer it not to be with php since I am not hooked up with localhost yet.
Thanks for all help in advance!

A: HTML5 now allows you to include html files like you can already include a css file via an import. However, this would only be helpful for during your development stages and not for the final production version since the feature currently is only available in Chrome and will take time for the other browsers to adopt: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/imports/

A: If you don't want to use PHP nor any other server-side scripting language,
you can use either <iframe> or <frameset> tags, which are deprecated, or perform an AJAX request using Javascript that embeds your HTML page dynamically. Second approach will work only if the page you're trying to attach is located within the same domain due to XSS protection in modern browsers.

A: It's more of a server thing, so to speak, so you would have to rely on the server more for this. Because, you cannot simply do this using static script, like HTML. There's no "built-in function" that can do this, it's not HTML's thing.
I mean, server will offer you more than one option, for example:
You can:

*

*Use SSI (Server-side Includes) if server supports it.

*Use PHP or ASP includes.

*Otherwise, you can use AJAX for this, won't cost you as much as the above options.

If you mean "header" by saying "topbar", I think it's not a good idea to use iframes.

A: Files which are truly HTML parsed files can not include another file to my knowledge.
If you web server will parse php you could simply change the extension of the the main file to .php and include() the topbar file:
mv index.html index.php
index.php:
include_once("topbar.html");

A: Use <!--#include file="footer_text.html" -->
inside html page.
Plz, check below url for details.
